Condition of gun is excellent plus. It retains about 92% of its total overall finish. Manufactured in 1856 (REF. Roy Marcot). According to Flayderman, these weapons are not only scarce and unusual with a total prouction of about 600, but also very difficult to find and are highly prized by collectors.
